94 hatch what motor to put in

sorry if this is the wrong forum. My friend bought a straght 94 si with the sohc vtec the motors shot burns oil ect. He wants to spend around 4000 on a swap he wants an h22a i was telling him to go ls turbo or lsvtec. What do you guys think it is not a daily driver.

The b16 is called the torqueles wonder for a reason. However, the B16 is a great turbo motor if it is built. Anycrap, get the GSR engine. The H22 sucks for anything but drag. I don't wanna hear anyone riding h22 dick telling me how it can still handle like a B-powered Civic, because it can't. Sorry, but that's the truth. So yeah, get the GSR swap with a LSD tranny. I have a JDM swap and I like it a lot. Best bang for the buck IMO.
